Description
Due to the original upload of my Ho 229 being from an early Beta I couldn't update it directly, hence I had to reupload it as this workshop object.

The well known Ho 229 was a german flying wing fighter design of WW2. Only prototypes flew before the war ended, no production was ever started.
It is the second replica I built back in the first closed beta back in 2019. Early beta versions had quite the buggy aerodynamics, hence I only managed to fix it in later versions. Top speed is still limited by the physics engine.
This is an updated version with (hopefully) better takeoffs, more effective trims, better balanced center of lift and center of thrust. I also redid the whole landing gear including adding steering to the front gear. Also fixed a bug where the rear landing gear would cause yawing motions. Thank you to BeatU4Klondike for pointing out several improvements of the former version.

If you have any tips for improvement or found a bug with the bot don't hesitate to comment here, feedback is always wellcome!
